Doppelgänger was a word from the German language which meant an exact duplicate of a living person. The term doppelganger has been used throughout history, most often when someone met an identical copy of themselves who was not a biological twin. Miles O'Brien, Harry Kim, and Naomi Wildman were replaced by doppelgängers of their respective "originals" after they died. (DS9: "Visionary", VOY: "Deadlock")

In 2266, a transporter accident split James T. Kirk into separate "good" and "evil" personas. It was eventually discovered that the two could not live without each other, and they were reintegrated by the transporter. (TOS: "The Enemy Within")

Because the split between signals resulted in an equal distribution of Riker's transporter pattern, both of them had an equally legitimate claim to being the "real" William T. Riker, however it can be argued that "Thomas" is the real Riker as the transporter chief aboard the Potemkin used a second beam signal to retrieve the current person known as William T. Riker while the original beam signal rematerialized on the planet surface.

A replicant of O'Brien was created by the Parada government, possibly to assassinate someone at the upcoming peace talks on the station between the government and rebel forces. This O'Brien died never knowing he wasn't the "real" one. (DS9: "Whispers")

The "real" Harry Kim was killed on Voyager when he was pulled through a hull breach on deck 15. He was replaced by the other Harry Kim from the "second" Voyager, making the current Harry a doppelgänger of the "first." (VOY: "Deadlock")

The "real" Naomi Wildman died of complications due to hemocythemia. She was replaced by the "second" Naomi Wildman for the other Voyager, making the current Naomi a doppelgänger of the "first." (VOY: "Deadlock")
